Heading to San Antonio today. " Marsha no liquor for me!!. The girls can sell a million bodyshots off of me but I will only allow myself some wine tonight." I walk into my bars and there are lines of shots for me bought by loyal customers. So I appreciate the gesture but I am just 10 days away from this race and I don't want to drink crazy. Bam feeling strong today.

How the hell was I supposed to know that there is a wetsuit specific to triathlons. My swim coach said " well I hope you like surfing cause that's all that wetsuit it worth." WTF. Fuck surfing! After training in the pool for two weeks for this damn triathlon I don't even like swimming. I did get my first compliment today. I guess I am getting better at a technique called Sighting. This is how you can continue to swim...

Mac, Memphis GM, sent me this text. Beautiful story. "So when I opened the doors at the bar today there was a bra tied to the handles. It's from a lady who had survived breast cancer. It had a fake gel insert inside of one side and a cancer pin on the other. Her kids left it at our bar in honor of their mother's passing." I can't tell you how touched I am that our Memphis bar gave them...

Congrats to Anna. One of our Russian partners. She just had a baby girl, Oriana. So happy for them!! "Lil I am going to put you in touch with my friend Frank who does triathlons." This is from my friend Tracy in Key West. He and I have now emailed a few times. Well I decided to look him up. Read this http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/local/wp/2013/04/23/arlingtons-frank-fumich-runs-78-miles-raises-33000-to-benefit-boston-bombing-victims/ My god he is giving me advice on swimming 400 meters when he just ran 3 marathons...

So this guy I met a few weeks ago called me tonight to tell me that he was coming to New Orleans in the next month and he's taking me out for BBQ and dancing. Just for reference sake, note that Men's Health magazine rated Beach activities as the #1 hated date by women. Eating BBQ has got to be in the top 10. And while dancing may not rank as high as wearing a bikini in daylight or getting...

Talk about grateful. I opened my eyes this morning to a deluge of beautiful mother's day texts and emails. Wow I am moved. Plus my son has gone shopping for me. Cleaned the porch. Washed the dogs. and also ran 3 miles with me. What a beautiful day. Mojo officially back!

The girls in Key West were much better then I expected considering its a newish bar. Really impressed. Bar needs some tweaks. I am hoping by the next time I go there the changes I requested are done. " Kevin why doesn't the Freaking outside sign light up?" Urgh "lil the historic commission still hasnt given us the OK for the actual lighting of the sign. " you are fucking kidding me! Tonight I took my son and his best...

Life's precious moments! 1. Having your first child 2. Your child's first words MaMa 3. Having video of the Director of Marketing and retail of Coyote Ugly so drunk making an idiot of himself . Priceless!! Text from Lee a fee minutes ago "My wake up call this morning. By security asking why I was passed out in the hallway in front of my room door. Awesome "

Lee, Kristina and I went out last night in Key West. We essentially bounced back and forth from Coyote to the bar Irish Kevin's . When the night was closing, Kristina was asleep at the booth in Coyote and Lee was possibly the drnukest I have ever seen him. Cassie, the GM, actually stationed a bouncer next to me to thwart off these guys who were hounding me. I had to carry Lee back to the hotel. Of course we...

" Mom what's going on ? You must of lost your mojo since you're in a dating slump." That's glass half empty. I prefer to think of it as freedom to be with myself.. Blah blah blah. Ok right now I need a freaking boyfriend. There is no full length mirror in my hotel room and I need someone to tell me if I look fat in this skirt! Damn Congrats Jazmine on your baby. So happy for you !

Heading to Key West tomorrow. Check on things. I want to modify the merch store. Refocusing on Houston and Miami. Text conversation with Mac Mac:Lil you need to add more complex carbs and protein to your diet with all this extra training. Me: Mac if I gain one pound on your diet plan I will hunt you down and off you! Then Lee and I got into it. " why did you post a clip from Tough Mudder on Facebook...

This triathlon is going to be harder then anticipated. Started my swim lessons today. The positive is that he said I was a better swimmer then I had advised him. Well that was the last compliment I received. The objective of this triathlon coach is to get the student to do every event faster while using less energy. Do you know how hard it is to reteach yourself a stroke when you have been doing it the same way for...
